The need for personal accounts A supplier might telephone, asking for payment of
the full balance due to him It is common for businesses to receive statements
of account from their suppliers monthly. The business needs to maintain its own records to check that the supplier's statement is correct.
The business needs to maintain a complete record of the items making up the balance it owes so that it can make appropriate payments on an appropriate regular basis to suppliers.

Checks over payments

The age analysis of payables The age analysis of payables will consist
of a listing of payables' balances analysed between different 'ages' of debt represented by different items in the balance, measured in months
![Page 22: Chapter 16 - The Payables Ledger](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061118/5468ca12b4af9fdf3f8b5ad2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Contra entries with the receivables ledger
Contra entries 'net off' amounts due to and from the same parties in the payables ledger and receivables ledger respectively.
![Page 23: Chapter 16 - The Payables Ledger](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061118/5468ca12b4af9fdf3f8b5ad2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Example
If A owes B $200 for purchases and B owes A $350 for credit sales, the net effect is that B owes A $150
Books of A: Payables ledger – B – for $200 Receivables ledger – B – for $350
Netting off (made in contra)
